East Coast lost 0-4 with Georgetown scoring two goals in each half.

Ziki Bunbury recorded the fastest goal of the tournament when he scored in the first minute of the final.

East Coast managed to hold off their opponents until the 43rd minute when Romario Andrews doubled the lead.

Though it was evident that the Georgetown players displayed better ball control and had greater possession, East Coast did not down without a fight.

Georgetown’s third goal came only six minutes into the second half from a Kelvin Bowen strike and the icing was put on the cake by Trevor Britton’s 79th minute goal.
